Club ice is available at SUNY Broome Ice Center on Tuesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Please see our calendar for the full schedule. Spring and summer ice time may be available at the Ice House Sports Complex (formerly Chenango Ice Rink), depending on availability and interest.

Please note: To skate unsupervised by an adult, young skaters must demonstrate at least Learn to Skate USA level 3 skating ability.

Club rules and code of conduct

The Binghamton Figure Skating Club is committed to creating a safe and positive environment for skaters’ physical, emotional, and social development and ensuring that it promotes an environment free of misconduct. The Skater Code of Conduct has been established to ensure the safety of all skaters using our ice to ensure quality practice time for all skaters who purchase ice from the club and who participate in all club-related activities.

All skaters, regardless of whether they hold home club, associate, or non-member status, must follow and uphold the tenets in this Skater Code of Conduct regarding behavior on and off the ice. All skaters are expected to exhibit good sportsmanship and be courteous toward their fellow skaters, coaches, parents of skaters, U.S. Figure Skating officials and guests.

Our club is committed to promoting a positive and friendly environment for all skaters. Remember ‘The Golden Rule’ —treat other people like you want to be treated—with respect.

Guidelines for Dress and Equipment:

Skaters are requested to wear figure skates on club ice sessions unless prior approval has been obtained from the Board. Protective equipment should be appropriate for a figure skating club ice session; skaters are encouraged to wear padding and may wear helmets or other protective headgear, as long as vision and hearing are not impaired.

For more on ice etiquette, safety, rules and guidelines, please view our complete Skaters' Code of Conduct. Please note: All skaters (and/or their parent/guardian) must review and sign the Code of Conduct as well as liability and medical waivers each year in order to have access to club ice.
